Crashing every time I play

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - During Play

Issue Description (Required):

Every time I play Darktide for more than 20-30 minutes at a time I crash. I tried many of the fixes from the list of potential fixes, and only after lowering my worker threads to 6 did I get a new error. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. I have a fairly high end PC, consisting of a 4070ti, 64g RAM, Intel Core i7 13700K. All my temps are good, so i don’t think it’s a hardware issue, but I’m not entirely sure.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

No, I don’t use mods

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Sorry to hear this @Cornpop4422

This specific error suggests a GPU-related crash is occurring. I recommend trying potential solutions here:

Have been going down the provided list of potential fixes. I disabled portrait rendering, deleted AppData & verified file integrity, do not use overwolf overlay, worker threads are down to 6. I also reinstalled drivers, am not using overclocks or ultrawide monitors. I managed to get through an entire match without crashing, but then crashed shortly after returning to the hub. I’ve included the crash log below. Any other suggestions?

@Cornpop4422 I’m glad to hear there’s been some improvement. This crash is a very unusual one, which only has a single unique occurrence to your system. It may have been an unlucky one-off - it’s hard to say.

If any you encounter any further crashes please can you provide them for comparison. Thanks!
